Define Event Types

Explanation

Use this activity to define the different types of log events that may occur on a production unit. Log events are used when reporting production log events in IFS/OEE. When a new log event type is created you need to connect it to an existing system log event type. Valid system log event types are:

The system log event type Log Bulletin is specified in time and is used to communicate particular production unit information. Log bulletins are viewed in the Production Unit window.

The system log event type Log Marker is used to identify the time a particular action took place. Log markers can be used during an APQ analysis to identify if an action had a positive or negative effect on the APQ value.

The system log event type Log Note is used to enter non-object connected information, e.g., information the production personnel want conveyed to the next shift.

Note: The level of data entered during the creation of an event will determine how detailed your analysis can be.
